The Texas Tech Red Raiders are facing off against the Iowa State Cyclones, and are trying to bounce back after a bad loss
to West Virginia.

The Red Raiders were ahead of the Mountaineers 35-17, but gave up 29 straight points to lose the game.

Now, Texas Tech is facing off against a hot Iowa State team. The Cyclones are 4-2, and coming off two huge wins in a row,
one against Oklahoma and a shutout of Kansas. Iowa State is vying to make a run at the upper tier of the conference. Texas
Tech isn’t one of the top three teams in the conference yet, but they’re firmly a good team. A win here solidifies either
team as a solid bowl team, and will be another step on their way for bowl eligibility.

Texas Tech-Iowa State preview, three keys to the game

You have to be aware of the big chess pieces at all times. Where is Joel Lanning? Where is Kyle Kempt? Where is David Montgomery? Where is Allen Lazard? If Texas Tech can shut down
these four big pieces, they can beat Iowa State. Lanning, Kempt, Montgomery, and Lazard are the best players on this Iowa
State team, and they need to be shut down at every turn. Montgomery can change direction quickly, he needs to be brought down
quickly and in the backfield. Kempt cannot be allowed a clean pocket. Lazard cannot get a clean release off the line of scrimmage.
Lanning cannot be allowed to do his all-purpose thing. If Texas Tech can be aware and keep these guys in their sights, they
will win.

You’ll be able to hit things out of the backfield, Iowa State isn’t as fast as other teams. Arguably one of the biggest plus spots for this Texas Tech team is its depth at running back. The Red Raiders need to be
able to utilize the running backs out of the backfield more often if they’re going to get one over on Iowa State. The Cyclones
are disciplined but slower than other Big 12 teams, and this is an area that the Red Raiders can strike.

Just get a win. Texas Tech needs a win over a solid Big 12 team, and the Iowa State Cyclones are a solid Big 12 team. It’s at home for the
Red Raiders, and a bowl berth is within reach. A bowl game also saves Kliff Kingsbury’s job. Texas Tech needs a win here,
badly, and if the Red Raiders can get a win, it puts them one step closer.
